A little bit of prodding and it slipped right out, and re-inserts perfectly. Try doing a little bit of hot water or hairdryer treatment and see if it helps at all.

I'm not a fan of the blue tones, but it looks good still nevertheless. I really wish Hasbro could get this down into Marvel Legends scale. Venom is one figure that I've felt they have never been able to get right. I love the fact though that this particular figure gives you a little bit of Venom from every major artists take on him, including McFarlane, Larsen, and Bagley. Glad you're enjoying him so much!

this is one of my pride and joy Select figures.. i had a original Venom the Madness figure back from the 90s i believe. he was very bulky and nice for back in the day, however since all my toys from years ago are all played with condition, i decided they wouldn't look as good with these new Selects that are double their size as well.

it's very hard to see the blueish tint on him via the pics, but i guess thats just how they did him on this new version.

as for everyone talking about the legends line or any of the other lines... while i like some of the figures, and even considered getting some, i feel their quality isn't the same as a marvel select. you know with the paint detail, and the articulation. and of course the bigger sizes.
